148: Chapter 148 A Mysterious Phone Call 148: Chapter 148 A Mysterious Phone Call Zhang Hongbo and another person were stunned to hear that Hong Jinshuai had been beaten to death, their faces showing pain.

Tears welled up in their eyes, but ultimately none fell, because just now Xiang Yu had said that men must be strong and responsible, and cannot easily cry.

“Brother Yu, did you really avenge Master?” Zhang Hongbo asked, fighting back his sadness.

Xiang Yu knew what they were thinking and sighed, nodding, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t protect him.

I burst Ba Song’s eggs by kicking them yesterday, and I twisted his neck.”

Zhang Hongbo clenched his teeth, nodded, and then took Xiao Xuan and left.

Thinking of Hong Jinshuai, Xiang Yu again felt a wave of self-blame, sitting there in a daze for a while.

Then Wu Jing came over and said, “Brother Yu, I took the two of them away.

Call me if you need anything.”

Xiang Yu nodded without saying much; he had already explained everything to Wu Jing.

Wu Jing nodded and then found Zhang Hongbo to leave.

In the afternoon, Xiang Yu came to Yi Jing Real Estate’s office with Tie Zhuzi.

When Wu Haotian heard Xiang Yu had come, he specifically ran over.

That Xiang Yu could take care of Yan Bin was unexpected to everyone.

Wu Haotian had wanted Xiang Yu to take care of Zhang Lei within a limited time, but now it seemed the limit was not short but rather ample.

“Big brother, is there something you need?” Xiang Yu sat on the sofa and asked Wu Haotian.

Wu Haotian chuckled and said, “There’s nothing in particular, just came to see you.”

Now Wu Haotian’s attitude towards Xiang Yu had completely changed; he no longer merely used him but placed him in a position equal to himself.

The two chatted idly for a while, and then Wu Haotian chuckled and said, “During the week you were gone, Zhang Lei came to threaten me again.

Now that you’re back, he probably won’t dare anymore.”

Wu Haotian was testing Xiang Yu to see his stance.

Only then did Xiang Yu realize what he’d forgotten, slapping his forehead and saying, “How could I forget that!

Brother, don’t worry, I will go find him, but…” Xiang Yu hesitated, “Recently, Zhang Lei put five hundred thousand in my bank account, and I’m feeling a bit embarrassed.”

Wu Haotian was shocked, Zhang Lei was really invested in his business to tempt even his own people with money, potentially making Xiang Yu join forces with Zhang Lei against him, since who wouldn’t say yes to money.

“Don’t worry, brother Xiang Yu.

I have plenty of money to spare.

I’ll have someone deposit one million into your account later, it’s no issue at all,” Wu Haotian said magnanimously, though inwardly it pained him.

He now regretted getting Xiang Yu involved.

He could manipulate Xiang Yu, but the other could do the same.

Xiang Yu was motivated by money, after all.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu immediately appeared delighted, “Since that’s the case, then big brother, rest assured, I’ve got this.”

Wu Haotian was immediately pleased upon hearing this.

Xiang Yu’s influence was no longer what it used to be; he had gradually stepped out of the petty thug ranks.

His word now held many times more weight than before.

After more idle talk, Wu Haotian finally stood up to leave.

His relationship with Zhang Lei had evolved from business competition to hatred.

Zhang Lei had his own power, while Wu Haotian had a band of desperados under him, and neither bowed to the other.

But Wu Haotian still wanted to leverage Xiang Yu’s hand.

Tie Zhuzi could tell from Wu Haotian’s pleased departure that their account would soon swell by another million.

He had never known that making money could be so easy.

“Brother Yu, if we keep deceiving him like this, he’ll eventually find out,” Tie Zhuzi said somewhat apprehensively.

“It’s fine, they are all no good anyway, what’s this bit of money to me?” Xiang Yu said indifferently.

Right at that moment, Shi Jian called.

“Xiang Yu, Liang Zi just brought news that they can’t hold out any longer.

If we don’t help them now, they might really be wiped out.”

“Understood, you handle your current matters and get over there to help them.

Remember, don’t go easy on them, Zhu Qingfang’s men are no better,” Xiang Yu instructed.

Shi Jian acknowledged and then hung up the phone.

Xiang Yu, holding the phone, dialed Long Zaitian and briefed him on the situation, instructing him to follow Shi Jian’s arrangements, as Shi Jian was more familiar with Liang Zi and the others.

Long Zaitian didn’t ask for details but promised to complete the task well.

As for Liang Zi and his crew, Xiang Yu didn’t really care about them.

Zhu Qingfang was somewhat noteworthy, but his men were now in complete disarray.

Shi Jian and his team could certainly take care of them.

After making arrangements, Xiang Yu sat there and thought for a while before looking at Tie Zhuzi and saying, “Zhuzi, you go help Shi Jian too.

I’m a bit worried.”

Tie Zhuzi was momentarily taken aback and said, “Brother Yu, be careful yourself.”

Tie Zhuzi had always remained by Xiang Yu’s side and had, in effect, become his personal bodyguard.

He had listened only to Xiang Yu since the beginning, selectively heeding the words of others.

Xiang Yu nodded to reassure Tie Zhuzi.

Now that Yan Bin had been eliminated, their next target was the underground organization.

This organization was even more ruthless than Yan Bin’s, and he was determined to take them down.

While Xiang Yu lay on the sofa contemplating his next move, his phone rang again.

He picked it up to see an unknown number.

“Who is it?” Xiang Yu asked simply.

After Xiang Yu finished asking, the other end went silent, with neither party saying a word.

Xiang Yu suddenly realized that this call must be out of the ordinary.

“I am Xiang Yu.

Speak your mind,” Xiang Yu said.

He had made quite a few enemies recently, and he thought it might be one of those threatening calls or someone seeking revenge.

Xiang Yu wasn’t afraid of them coming; he was afraid they wouldn’t come at all.

“I would like to ask for your help.”

To Xiang Yu’s surprise, the voice on the phone was young, and there was no hint of threat in the tone.

Xiang Yu was certain he had heard this voice before but couldn’t immediately recall who it belonged to.

Yan Bin’s men?

Zhu Qingyuan?

Or Zhu Qingfang?

Xiang Yu went through all these people and their subordinates in his mind, but no one’s voice matched.

Though the voice was young, the tone was quite dejected, and there was a hint of pleading in it.

The caller immediately asked for Xiang Yu’s help, which suggested they might know him well.

Xiang Yu thought again about everyone he knew in familiar circles but still couldn’t think of anyone who fit the bill.

“Who are you, and what help do you need?” Xiang Yu asked.

There was another long silence from the other end, as if they were struggling intensely before finally revealing their name.

Upon hearing it, Xiang Yu was even more puzzled; they had not had much contact in the past, so why would they seek his help…
